Beerhead Bar & Eatery, a bar and restaurant chain that capitalized on the craft beer craze of the mid-2010s, has permanently closed its location in Hamilton Quarter, Central Ohio. The closure comes after the company also shut down its Cleveland site following a decade of operation. The announcement of the Hamilton Quarter closure has left many loyal customers disappointed.
Why it matters
The closure of Beerhead's Central Ohio location is indicative of broader challenges facing the craft beer industry. In 2025 alone, over 434 breweries shuttered nationwide, significantly outnumbering new openings. Rising material costs and lower overall demand for alcohol have contributed to an increase in brewery and restaurant closures in recent years.
The details
Beerhead first opened its Hamilton Quarter location in 2020, offering a neighborhood spot for more than 50 craft beers on-tap, as well as bar fare like burgers and appetizers. The concept started in Chicago in 2012, but as of now, there are only four locations remaining. The closure of the Hamilton Quarter site comes after the company also shut down its Cleveland location after a decade of operation.
